Moorsiders on brink of clinching the title

KIRKBYMOORSIDE moved to within two points of becoming the Beckett League first division champions after a 5-1 win at Heslerton on Saturday.

The Moorsiders started well, they almost took the lead after just 45 seconds when a Josh Butler right wing corner was superbly headed by Jordan Rivis but cleared off the goal line by a Heslerton defender with keeper Gareth Driver beaten. Driver rushed from his goal after eight minutes to superbly save Jack Dowson’s effort when he was clean through on goal.

The opening goal of the game arrived after 15 minutes when Jack Dowson scored with a superb looping header over keeper Driver and just before half time Aaran Rivis scored to double the Moorsiders lead.

Early in the second half Dowson scored a second goal for the Moorsiders to put hem further ahead, but Wayne Pilmoor pulled a goal back for the home side.

However, the Moorsiders added two further goals scored by Jordan Rivis and Lee Nesfield to gain the victory which almost gives them their first division one championship.
